It doesn't hurt to be prepared, eh?

I don't know, tbh.

It is like the end of draughtsmen. Engineering still occurs but at higher levels of abstraction, sadly most programmers are not engineers.

most orgs still exclusively test candidates to be proficient in programming, yea probably in the future, but in the short term this mentality will make you unemployable.

Bad take. New tools same job

If you think that being a programmer was about writing code, you've been doing it wrong.

No one is going to hire a prompt jockey to make business products. Either make your own company or go back to burger king. Anything you can do with AI, a programmer can do better.

Nope. Not for the next 10 years. We are still at an early stage where all existing software will be (and is already being) rewritten.

You still need people to come up with ideas. AI is not going to do everything. I'd sooner trust the software engineers that have been keeping us going the past few decades than asking AI what we should build lol

I think your ulterior wish tells you are just a shitty person

From chisel woodcarver to cnc lathe operator. The first period would be brutal though, corporations will think that the lathe works by itself or without a skilled operator.

This is me looking at how Claude does any single task 1000x faster and better than I do.

Still lots of stuff to build

no one identified around being a programmer, "programmer" is merely a problem solver.

I see it differently as sbdy that's been playing n instrument for decades and now is low key obsessing bout making Ai music, I believe a coder will always get a better result vibe coding something than sbdy who doesn't know any code just like I can prompt advanced musical terms

70% of coders will loose job atleast in next 5 yr...

id rather be unemployable than a cuck who doesn't know how the bad code claude shits out works

You are still too niche & narrow in your statement. Employment at large is going to experience an enormous shifting & shrinkage over the next decade. You were never what society called you, & you were never what you did. I wish a soul crushing absolutely mind numbing ego death to all of you who think this way. The pain & dissonance you will experience is going to be extreme, but on the other side in your complete inability to be useful relative to & agent or robot is the emptiness to explore what you are as a human instead of existing simply to be only what you did. Embrace it, that's freedom. Until then, wishing you an absolutely crushing of your ego & soul. You need it.

Identify as a dev should have always been about shipping things that make money none of this code golfing “look at how beautiful the code is” Assembly people died on that hill when compilers came for them years ago.

Syntax changed, rent didn't

Was your job writing code or solving problems? The problems didn’t go away..In fact they only became more interesting and vastly bigger..

The people who churned out business logic slop for years are doomed. Salesforce “developers” and their kind are probably fucked, but talented engineers with good taste will always be in demand.

Junior developer's will be hit the hardest.

Sorry you got fired pal. As a senior engineer, the offers are pouring in, because I actually understand coding.

The school I teach is still taught students how to write code again

All sedentary skillsets will become worthless, programming, animation, art, math, etc.

Good, these code monkeys think they're better than everyone else and they need to be humbled.

yess it is,tbh many are gonna accept this reality in hard wayyy....

So everyone else is also then?

You sound like someone who has never seen rivers of slop get made by AI.
